DAERA Rural Micro Capital Grant Scheme 2021
Opening Friday 1st October 2021
The Application process will change substantially this year again
we strongly recommend attendance at a Pre-Application Workshop
This Scheme is funded under the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs Tackling Rural Poverty and Social Isolation Programme (TRPSI).
Micro Capital grants of between £200 and £1,500 are available to rural community-led, voluntary organisations for projects tackling issues of local poverty and / or social isolation.
The total project cost must not exceed £3,000.
Applicants must provide a minimum of 15% match funding.
Projects must clearly address an issue of rural poverty and / or social isolation.
The Rural Micro Capital Grant Scheme 2021 has been designed to:
• Help rural community-led, voluntary groups to address local issues of access poverty, financial poverty and social isolation; and
• Improve the lives of rural communities, and in particular the wellbeing of isolated individuals.
Projects must focus on ONE of the following three themes:
• Modernisation (of premises / assets)
• Information Communication Technology (ICT)
• Health and Wellbeing
In recognising the impact of Covid-19, and the need for investment to reopen and safely operate venues, eligible costs may include structural alterations. Furthermore, goods which have a degree of permanence (anticipated to have a life beyond 1 year) or can be permanently affixed to the venue can also be considered eligible.
